San Jose has carried the Bay Area during the World Cup and emerged the biggest Winner

Some estimates, per NBC Bay Area, gave the South Bay gaining potentially $600 million in economic activity, 3 times as much from the Super Bowl

The San Pedro Watch Parties are packed and the hottest ticket in the region. The downtown is decked with World Cup banners and activity

The 6 matches at Levi's were a huge success, including the US win where the Bay Area was lauded for being loud

Great job San Jose, the downtown has emerged as an exciting spot for occasions/events and San Jose did a great job of getting out of San Francisco's shadow. Hopefully the region will be known more as a duopoly between the 2 cities, instead of being dominated by SF

Hopefully San Jose can build on this exposure and increase marketing for San Jose and the Santa Clara Valley as a tourism destination
